Recently aquired tastes:

I'm afraid that college has made me pickier than ever. I think that is because I've acquired a lot of "new" tastes and that dorm food has turned me off from certain foods forever. I can barely walk by the dorm entrees without gagging. That and the fact that I basically live in the library and walk a lot means that I've lost lots of weight. Oh, it

OH GOD NAAN.

Actually oh god all the food you described. Mmmmmm.

[georgiapeachy]

It's sooooo good! I wish I could make it myself. I'll have to try sometime.

This is perhaps not the most coherent comment I'll ever make--but the pomegranates I LOVE.

[kitkitkit]

I LOVE PRETENTIOUS ACAI JUICE.

i've become quite recently addicted to pomegranates, but i need to try these other foods... sounds great!

college changed my eating habits as well. i think it kind of weirds my parents out. they say, "but you love x." and i think, "yes, and i ate it every week in the dining hall all semester and never want to see it again..."

[georgiapeachy]

AWKSJS dining hall. I wonder if dining hall food is icky in every college?

[lost_romanov]

probably. it must be a law or something. i used to think ours was swell, but then i started eating there all the time...

Pomegranates are the most beautiful fruit once you open them up, and I love how eating them is like doing a puzzle.
Also naan bread--pretty much best food ever invented.

[georgiapeachy]

Indeed...there is something intellectually stimulating about pomegranates that is completely lacking in things like apples.

[lost_romanov]

our medieval lit class read bernard of clairvaux, who was very obsessed with pomegranates as a symbol, especially of the Eucharist: "plucked from the tree of life, they exchanged their natural taste for that of heavenly bread, their color for that of christ's blood."
so if apples are fruit of the fall... i guess pomegranates are the fruit of redemption?

[georgiapeachy]

whoa...that's really interesting...
esp. considering that the other place I remember reading about them was Greek mythology, where the eating of seeds from the pomegranate bind Persephone to the land of the dead.
